FAQ
Questions about Airport pickup
What is airport pickup?
Airport pickup is the ground transportation arranged to collect air cargo after it arrives at the airport and move it to its next destination.
What information do you need to arrange a pickup?
We need the airport, expected arrival date and time, shipment weight and dimensions, and delivery address. The air waybill number is also helpful for coordinating the shipment.
Can the shipment continue by truck after pickup?
Yes. If the cargo needs additional ground transportation after airport pickup, we can arrange the next leg through full truckload, less than truckload or another appropriate transportation option.
